Mhchem arrows length












2















Is it somehow possible to change the default length of arrows in chemical reactions using
mhchem? In particular I would need to reduce its length, both for single and for double (equilibrium) arrows. I ask, if possible, coherent solutions, in the sense of commands designed for this package, if they exist. I tried something like ce{a + b ->[-5pt] c}, it seems to not work

  • Yes, I saw it. But I need something in order to reduce it, not to make it longer

The package doesn't provide a way to set the minimum arrow width, but it's possible to add it.



documentclass{article}
usepackage[version=4]{mhchem}

ExplSyntaxOn
keys_define:nn { mhchem }
{
arrow-min-length .code:n =
cs_set:Npn __mhchem_arrow_options_minLength:n { {#1} } % default is 2em
}
ExplSyntaxOff

begin{document}

ce{A + B -> C}

ce{A + B <-> C}

ce{A + B <=> C}

mhchemoptions{arrow-min-length=1em}

ce{A + B -> C}

ce{A + B <-> C}

ce{A + B <=> C}

end{document}


enter image description here



You can use mhchemoptions{arrow-min-length=1em} in the preamble to set the length globally, or locally in some environment.
